Chapter 4: Imbecile!!
601 A.D.
The lead cultist stood before Ozzie, "What do you want?" Ozzie asked. "You fool; you did not tell us that the Chrono Trigger has already been used! You have brought us here for naught!!" the cultist said. "Hey, I don't even know what this Chrono Trigger thing is anyway. All I know is that I held up my end of the bargain, so you hold up yours." Ozzie said. "We can't, not without Master Kefka." the cultist said. "Well, you traveled through time to get here, why don't you just go back to right before Kefka died?" Ozzie asked. The cultist seemed to freeze, why had he not thought of it before? "Yes... Yes, that could work. I thank you for your brilliant idea King Ozzie." the cultist said. "Yes, well, remember. Kefka has to kill Magus for me." Ozzie said. "Yes... Yes of course." the cultist said, he opened up a time gate and he and his three followers entered it.
Frog sat in his room staring at the floor. "What hath happened to this land?" Frog asked himself. Suddenly continents and cities, mountains had sprung up from nowhere. Frog sighed and tapped the hilt of the Masamune, he wished that he could understand it, the people where much more developed than the humans of his world, but some of these humans made the mystics look like nothing at all. Armored men in giant metal suits with all sorts of beams that could tear towns apart. And their general, Kefka made Frog uncomfortable, Kefka was a raving lunatic, Generals Leo and Celes where fairly good people, General Leo was a man of honor, and General Celes was in no way evil. However, the emperor, Gestahl was an odd man, one who looked as though he could snap any moment. "Captain Frog! The Imperial army approaches!" a soldier rushed in and said. "I see, prepare the armies, we must not fall!" Frog said, drawing the Masamune from its sheath. If it was the last thing Frog ever did, he would be sure to stop the imperials.
Frog stepped out on the battlefield, the gaurdian knights stood around, prepared to attack the imperials at all costs. The army of soldiers and Magitek armors rushed forward, Frog raised the Masamune above his head and then brought it down, the tip of the blade facing forward. "Charge!!!!" Frog yelled, and all of the knights charged towards the imperials. The armies met in a bloody battle, Frog did a flying leap and landed inside a Magitek armor, he killed the soldier inside and took the controls. Frog could read the language, Frog pressed a button that said fire beam, the magitek's arm opened up to reveal a large cannon, a large red beam shot from the armor, cutting a hole in everything in it's path. "Knights of Gaurdia, stealeth an armored suit from the soldiers, 'Twill be the key to victory!" Frog yelled at the knights, the knights obeyed and soon every knight had a suit of armor. Frog led his Magitek knights throughout the ranks and came to General Leo, General Leo ordered his troops to stop and Frog did the same.
Frog hopped out of his Magitek and came to Leo. "You are a valiant knight, and a great warrior." Leo told Frog. "I thank thee general, what is thy desire?" Frog asked. "I have a way that we could end this without any more bloodshed." Leo said. "I am listening." Frog said. "I propose that we have a sword fight, just you and I, if I lose, I will withdraw, if you lose, we continue this battle." Leo said. "I wilt agree to thy terms General." Frog said, shaking Leo's hands. Leo drew a broadsword from the sheath at his side, Frog drew the Masamune.
The two knights charged at each other, locking swords, Frog jumped in the air and dove down towards Leo, with a quick slash, Leo parried the attack and a pillar of light expanded around Frog, Frog dodged away as the pillar exploded. "What sort of magic be that?" Frog asked. "It's not magic; my mystical sword can do it." Leo said. "Aye, let me show thou what mine mystical sword canst do." Frog said. Frog raised the Masamune, he had been perfecting this attack for some time, and it was the Masamune's true power. Frog brought the sword up, "Multi Slash!" Frog screamed out, suddenly there where ten other Frogs, all of them a darker green than the real one. All the Frog's attacked at once, slashing at General Leo, but Leo was no pushover in battle, not by a long shot. Leo slashed at one of the Frogs and took his head off, then stabbed another in the face, he took two out with a cyclone like attack, then took four out with a Shock attack, Frog and the other two copies all attacked at once, the two copies charged at Leo from opposite sides, Leo jumped out of the way and the two copies attacked and killed each other. "What sort of attack was that?" Leo asked. "'Twas not the attack, 'Twas only to distract you for the real attack." Frog said. Suddenly the Masamune swished back and forth in Frog's hands, moving his hands like it was swinging itself. Leo dodged the initial two attacks, but was then hit by the seven additional attacks, Leo knocked the Masamune from Frog's hands and it planted itself in the ground, Frog summoned the sword to his hands and lashed out with his tongue. Frog's tongue wrapped around Leo's waste and pulled Leo towards Frog, Frog slashed the Masamune at Leo, Leo's sword was thrown from his hands, and Frog washed it farther away with a wave of water. Leo fell to the ground; Frog pointed the tip of the Masamune at Leo's neck. Leo was breathing heavily, "You are a great swordsman Frog." Leo said. "I thank thee, so may hap I ask, is the battle over?" Frog asked. "Why yes, you can keep the magiteks, General Kefka will not give you the same opportunity that I have given you. Farewell Frog, I hope to someday do battle with you again." Leo said, he climbed on his Chocobo and led the army away. "Fare thee well, Sir Leo!!" Frog said, waving goodbye. Frog signaled for the knights to take the Magitek armors back to Gaurdia Castle.
"You did what?" Emperor Gestahl screamed. "Sir, I was only thinking of the well being of the troops." Leo said. "The fact remains, we still lost!" Gestahl said. "Perhaps I should handle them." a high-pitched voice said from behind Gestahl. A man stepped forward, he was wearing white makeup on his face, with red blush around his eyes, he wore a large green jacket and red stockings, his hair was wild and blonde, and he had a feather sticking up in his hair. "Very well Kefka, you take care of the Gaurdians. Leo, I'm sending you to take Doma Castle, don't screw it up! Or you'll join General Celes!" Gestahl yelled. "Yes sir!" Leo said, saluting the emperor, Leo turned on his heal and marched out. "Kefka, spare no one." Gestahl said. "Oh, don't worry, I won't." Kefka said, he gave a loud laugh, one that no man would ever forget. Kefka saluted Gestahl, mocking the way Leo had and marched out.
Kefka led the imperial army towards Gaurdia forest. Meanwhile in the castle, "Alright, now we shalt all ride those magical armors out and attack the enemy with a frontal assault, meanwhile group B wilt flank left, group C wilt flank right, group D shall fire a rain of attacks from above, and group E will sneaketh around behind and catcheth anyone trying to runeth away." Frog said, everyone got into their spots. Kefka looked forward, there where twenty magiteks in front of the castle, their captain was a giant frog. Kefka's face twisted into an evil smile, he had one hundred men, and no way could twenty un-trained soldiers in Magitek armor stop him. "Burn everything!" Kefka screamed. The magiteks opened fire upon the magiteks in front of the castle, the magiteks returned fire, blowing up some of Kefka's soldiers. Kefka watched carefully, the Gaurdian knights where not aiming for the magitek's, only the pilots inside. Suddenly from above came a rain of beams, and ice beam hit a Magitek and froze it in a big block of ice, then beams from either side, there was only one way out, suddenly a group of magiteks came from behind, they where surrounded, there was no way out but down. Kefka pushed a button on his armor and it changed shape, it looked like a giant motorcycle with a drill on the end, Kefka escaped towards Doma, leaving his soldiers to die there on the battlefield.
Frog surveyed the battlefield, making sure no survivors where left. Frog had learned from the war with the mystics that sparing soldiers would only cause more trouble. Frog ordered all his soldiers to tend to the wounded and take all the new Magitek armor into the castle. General Kefka was nowhere to be found, "Coward." Frog said, kicking a helmet on the ground.
